Bill That Would Remove “Problem” Cops Not Passed

(Sacramento, CA) — California still has no way to permanently remove police officers with troubled histories. The legislation failed to pass before the legislative session ended early yesterday. The measure would have created a way to permanently strip badges from officers who commit serious misconduct. Police unions and law enforcement groups argued that the proposed system would be biased and lack basic due process protections.
